Local Codex runtime

TextOS gives Codex-style work a Linux environment on your Android device: files, shell commands, generated pages, and repairable runtime state.

Use your ChatGPT account

Sign in through the Codex/ChatGPT flow. TextOS is not asking you to bring an API key or manage separate pay-per-token API billing inside the app.

Local-first boundaries

Projects and runtime files live on device by default. Prompts and selected context leave the device when you intentionally use AI features.

TextOS is not an official OpenAI app. Codex and ChatGPT access, availability, usage limits, and credits are governed by your OpenAI account and plan.
